BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity, which helps promising companies achieve their growth ambitions, has invested in the Belgian satellite manufacturer Aerospacelab. Thanks to the support of our bank and a number of other leading investors, the company raised EUR 40 million.
Aerospacelab makes and processes satellite images that, among other things, allow air pollution to be better controlled. Not only are they taking European space technology to the next level, they also want to make it affordable and widely applicable. With the funds raised, Aerospacelab will ramp up its satellite constellations production and develop solutions with multiple sensors to analyse this satellite data.
"We are delighted that we are one of the new investors in Aerospacelab and therefore support technological entrepreneurship in Belgium. Just like our bank, Aerospacelab is determined to make a real positive impact on a global level. We strongly believe in their capabilities and are proud that as a Belgian company they can play a decisive role in European space technology," said Didier Beauvois, Head of Corporate Banking & Member of the Executive Board of BNP Paribas Fortis.
